Question

A sample of sodium oxide has a mass of 123.88g. How many particles does it contain?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Calculation of the moles of sodium oxide

Given,

mass of sodium oxide = 123.88 g

we know, molar mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) = 61.9 g/mol 

=> moles of sodium oxide = mass of sodium oxide given / molar mass of sodiun oxide 

=> moles of sodium oxide = 123.88 g / 61.9 g/mol = 2.0 mol
